The
Northwest Weather Workshop, sponsored by NOAA's National
Weather Service, the University of Washington, and the Puget Sound
Chapter of the American Meteorological Society, covers recent
developments in Northwest weather forecasting and observational
technologies, major weather events of the past year, and topics
dealing with western U.S. meteorology. It is open to all interested
parties.

The
theme this year will be "Advances in High-Resolution Prediction
over the Pacific Northwest" with several sessions dedicated to
recent improvement in numerical weather prediction technology. There
will also be a special session on the meteorology associated with the
Oso landslide.

Registration
will be $35 for regular attendees ($15 for students) and will include
Saturday lunch, afternoon and morning refreshments, and a pre-print
volume. We will also have a Friday evening banquet (for an additional
charge of $45.00). This year the banquet speaker will be John E.
Pennington, Director, Snohomish County, Department of Emergency
Management who will provide his unique perspective on the dealing
with environmental disasters such as the Oso slide.

Pre-registration
